To those who have them.. What offset do you use and do they rub? I have heard way to many different answers and would like facts only. Also, what size tires are you running as well.

they will rub!
i had 18"x8" Racing Hart M5 on my car before and an Eibach drop and it would rub alot. if you get good springs and struts you can keep it to minimum.

Your going to have rubbing issues. Right now I am thinking about cutting off the whole lip in the rear. I wonder will I have any problems doing so?

Not to say otherwise but I know of at least 1 CEGer who claims he ran 19x8 axis 7s w/a 45mm offset and had little rub. I believe it was lilbern who had that setup. I just dont understand.

IIRC his car was not low enough. My car is slammed to the ground and I rub like hell. At first it was the lip, but now it is the actual wheel liner in the front and rear.
